TUTORIAL: How to Add and Delete music off an iPod using iTunes.

How to Add and Delete music on an iPod

There's many better and more useful alternatives but for this tutorial we'll be using iTunes. iTunes is a media player program developed by Apple, in this tutorial we'll be using the feature to manually add and delete music off an iPod.

There are two options when connecting an iPod to iTunes, you can manually upload each song to your iPod or alternatively have iTunes upload every check marked song in your library automatically. I personally highly recommend the manual option to managing your music, it gives you much more control over what music is uploaded and doesn't fill your iPod with songs you don't want on your iPod.

What you need:

• iPod Device
• iPod USB cable
• iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/?cid=OAS-US-DOMAINS-itunes.com

iTunes Install

Begin by installing iTunes, to do this simply download and double click it run the file. Follow the step by step install process.

Detecting and Finding the iPod

At this point the iPod shouldn't be plugged into the computer yet, after iTunes starts  (it's normal for it to be slow on start) agree to the terms of service and plug in the USB wire.

Now after iTunes has started go ahead and plug in the iPod, iTunes should detect it  after a few short seconds. Now in the top left hand corner under File, click the drop down menu and find your device on the list. (If you can't find the drop down menu make sure you're on library first)

Selecting the setting

On this next page you'll be presented with a summary of all the details of the device, toward the bottom of the page in the "Options" box there's five option's.

Select "Manually manage music and videos" then hit OK.

Uploading the music

Now uploading music is as easy as going to the library and dragging them on the devices icon.

Select a song

Drag it to the drop down bar 

Drop it on iPod

Done!
